Fokker 100 - the largest production aircraft Dutch aircraft company of the same name.

The Fokker 100 is a narrow-body medium-haul jet aircraft with a capacity of up to 107 passengers (from here the 100 figure in the title) and is intended for short and medium flights. The basis for this aircraft served as a glider Fokker F28 of the same company. In the model under development, the fuselage was enlarged by a 5,51 meter, which increased the number of passengers to 107 people instead of 85 people in the F28-4000 model. In connection with the increase in the fuselage, the wing design was revised to improve the efficiency of aerodynamics. The wingspan of the F100 compared to the F28 has increased by almost a meter 3. We have 28,08 meters for weave, and twenty-eighths for 25,1 meters. The interior equipment was also changed, including the cabin interior.
